At $65K buy it now it is out of reach for most, but is it really an SSME Bell?

If I were paying that much I would at least require a full picture of the item. Not one of those pictures show the entire nozzle in one frame. However, he/she does encourage visual inspection on site. How big is this thing? Hard to tell.

Comparing the eBay photo with this file photo from Rocketdyne shows a similar vertical structure to accept piping at the top of the engine bell and a matching notched or serrated plate on top of that. However there seem to be too few of the horizontal rings around the bell. Fred, maybe you should write the seller and request dimensions or better photos.
